An electronic device comprises: a housing comprising a front plate, a rear plate facing in the opposite direction to the front plate, and a side member surrounding a space between the front plate and the rear plate; a display which is viewed from the outside through the front plate; a first opening formed between an edge of the front plate and the side member; a mid-plate which is arranged between the display and the rear plate and extends from the side member, overlaps the display when viewed from above the display, and includes a second opening adjacent to the first opening; a speaker which is located in a space adjacent to the second opening, between the mid-plate and the rear plate, and includes a diaphragm facing the display; a sound guide structure arranged between the mid-plate and the display, the sound guide structure comprising a grill portion, which is inserted into the first opening and includes a plurality of through holes, and a flange portion which extends from the grill portion to a space between the display and the mid-plate and forms a sound passage between the second opening and the grill portion together with the mid-plate; and a scaling member at least partially surrounding the periphery of the sound guide structure.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.
3. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the sealing member comprises at least one of poron, rubber, or silicon.
An electronic device, like a smartphone, includes a speaker system. This system has a housing with a front display and a mid-plate inside. A sound guide structure, which has a grill portion (with holes) and a flange portion, routes sound from an internal speaker (located behind the mid-plate) to a first opening visible on the device's exterior. This sound guide structure also includes a sealing member that at least partially surrounds its edges. This sealing member is made from materials such as poron, rubber, or silicon to provide a secure fit and seal.
4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the flange portion has a shape of covering the second opening when viewed from above the display.
An electronic device, such as a smartphone, includes a speaker system. The device has a housing with a front display and an internal mid-plate. Sound from an internal speaker, located behind the mid-plate near a second opening, is guided to an external first opening by a sound guide structure. This sound guide structure includes a grill portion (with through holes) and a flange portion that extends internally. When looking down onto the display, this flange portion is shaped to cover the second opening, helping to direct the sound path effectively. A sealing member at least partially surrounds the sound guide structure.
5. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein a length in which the flange portion extends from the grill portion corresponds to a size adding up a distance between the first opening and the second opening and a height length of the second opening.
An electronic device, such as a smartphone, contains a speaker system within its housing, which includes a display and an internal mid-plate. An internal speaker is positioned behind the mid-plate, near a second opening. Sound travels from this second opening, through a sound guide structure, to an external first opening. The sound guide structure features a grill portion at the first opening and an internal flange portion that extends from the grill. The length of this flange portion's extension is precisely calculated: it equals the sum of the distance between the first and second openings and the height of the second opening, ensuring optimal sound guidance. A sealing member at least partially surrounds the sound guide structure.
6. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the sealing member attaches the sound guide structure to the mid plate.
An electronic device, like a smartphone, includes a speaker system within its housing, which features a front display and an internal mid-plate. A speaker is situated behind the mid-plate, with sound directed from an internal second opening to an external first opening via a sound guide structure. This sound guide structure comprises a grill portion (with through holes) and an internal flange portion. A sealing member is provided, at least partially surrounding the periphery of this sound guide structure. Beyond just sealing, this member also serves to securely attach the sound guide structure to the mid-plate, ensuring a stable and aligned sound path.
13. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the flange portion has a shape of covering the second opening when viewed from above the display.
An electronic device, such as a smartphone, includes a speaker system. The device has a housing with a front display and an internal mid-plate. Sound from an internal speaker, located behind the mid-plate near a second opening, is guided to an external first opening by a deco grill. This deco grill includes an external grill portion (with through holes) and an internal flange portion that extends from the grill. When looking down onto the display, this flange portion is shaped to cover the second opening, effectively directing the sound path.
14. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein a length in which the flange portion extends from the grill portion corresponds to a size adding up a distance between the first opening and the second opening and a height length of the second opening.
An electronic device, such as a smartphone, contains a speaker system within its housing, which includes a display and an internal mid-plate. An internal speaker is positioned behind the mid-plate, near a second opening. Sound travels from this second opening, through a deco grill, to an external first opening. The deco grill features an external grill portion at the first opening and an internal flange portion that extends from this grill. The length of this flange portion's extension is precisely calculated: it equals the sum of the distance between the first and second openings and the height of the second opening, ensuring optimal sound guidance.
17. The electronic device of claim 11, further comprises a sealing member at least partially surrounding the periphery of the deco grill.
An electronic device, like a smartphone, includes a speaker system within its housing, which has a front display and an internal mid-plate. A speaker is located behind the mid-plate, with sound directed from an internal second opening to an external first opening. This sound path is facilitated by a deco grill, which includes an external grill portion (with through holes) and an internal flange portion extending from it. To ensure a tight seal and proper sound channeling, the device also includes a sealing member that at least partially surrounds the outer edge of this deco grill.
18. The electronic device of claim 17, wherein the sealing member surrounds a porting of a side surface of the grill portion and at least a portion of an edge of the flange portion, and attaches the deco grill to the mid plate.
An electronic device, such as a smartphone, incorporates a speaker system within its housing, featuring a display and an internal mid-plate. A speaker generates sound, which is guided from an internal second opening to an external first opening by a deco grill. This deco grill consists of an external grill portion (with through holes) and an internal flange portion. A sealing member is included, which not only at least partially surrounds the periphery of the deco grill but is specifically configured to encompass a part of the grill portion's side surface and a portion of the flange portion's edge. Crucially, this sealing member also functions to securely attach the entire deco grill assembly to the mid-plate, ensuring structural integrity and precise sound channeling.
19. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the sealing member comprises at least one of poron, rubber, or silicon.
An electronic device, like a smartphone, includes a speaker system. This system has a housing with a front display and an internal mid-plate. A deco grill, which has an external grill portion (with holes) and an internal flange portion, routes sound from an internal speaker (located behind the mid-plate) to a first opening visible on the device's exterior. This deco grill assembly also includes a sealing member that at least partially surrounds its edges. This sealing member is specifically made from materials such as poron, rubber, or silicon, providing effective sealing and acoustic isolation.
